Known for their connection to hidden Christian history, samurai rebellions, and ancient folklore, the Amakusa Islands are steeped in ghost stories, unexplained phenomena, and spiritual legends. Join us as we uncover chilling tales of haunted temples, restless spirits from the Shimabara Rebellion, and the lingering presence of persecuted Christian martyrs.
